Abbiamo Supremo Support Thread

Well, testing templates seems to be what I'm best at. I've looked at probably all free templates and tested many.

Thanks. As for the captcha, I see there are several choices. Don't even know if mine is the best, but it has been working and the "pic" isn't too hard for customers to read. It's also been updated for 1.5, which I suppose is good news for it. Yes, anyone using this captcha apparently will have to also have it working with the header Contact Us. It sent me to the regular Contact Us page with an error warning that the validation code was not entered properly.

was there ever a solution to this? Im becoming brain dead...

Ok, I'm learning! (I think!)

Couldn't understand why my drop down links weren't headed for the right places when I edited the names..

Eventually worked out that there are some errors in the coding that don't tally with each other, hence the links were looking for something that wasn't there?

In tpl_drop_down.php, this link was calling for URL12

<li><a href="<?php echo URL12 ?>" class="drop"><?php echo

DROP_DOWN;?></a><!-- Begin 2 columns Item -->
when the DROP_DOWN was calling for URL1. Changed that, worked!

So... I then worked out the same thing worked for DROP_DOWN_CATEGORY_ONE in which it was calling URLs 13,14,15,16 and 17 yet header.php yells URLs 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. I changed these to marry up and yayy!! my links are working!! (even if they only go to the home page while I'm adding stock!)

We removed the EZ pages all together. The only way to add more to the footer is manually add it in the code.

Looks like you've completely changed templates, to one of the 12leaves pure templates? Anyway, for a novice you're really doing good work and coming along fast.

I ran your site through the validator and you are receiving errors:

http://validator.w3.org/

Some errors, especially the social stuff - facebook like, google+ - cannot be corrected, insofar as I've tried. But other errors should be cleaned-up if you can.

Especially note that you are apparently still carrying some footer social code from Abbiamo template. You should probably take out all code that your site isn't using.

You can also validate your css:

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Also, keep an eye on your page speed/performance, as I understand google is now giving weight to that as page speed affects customer experience and satisfaction, although your page speed is pretty good.

Ok be sure to check your messages as I found the issue that was causing all the issues on your site.

Thanks!

My site is ready to go except for my messing with something in the stylesheet that changed the look in IE. Brandon is so kind to take a look see and find where the explorer issues are located in my file. Everything looks so darn great in Chrome, Firefox, etc that I don't really want to chance any more changes without his expert opinion!

Thanks, Andy, for your suggestions though!

My next step before releasing any other templates is to clean the ones that I have, I started the process when I fixed a lot of the Abbiamo Supremo template. Then was going to fix the validation errors but had quite a few projects come up this week and those always come over the free templates. But I am hopeing to have fix all the small things on all the templates and validation errors this week. Thanks for letting me know, they might be free but I want to make them as strong as possible!

Submitted another update for the template

cleaned up the code and css
validated the code and removed all fixable errors (facebook widget is the only code that gives a validation error)

Should be updated soon - Available today on my site - Other templates to receive updates this week as well

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to make the thumbnails next to the products in the listings larger - where might I go to find out where this takes place? I notice that I can right click and view image on the thumbnails, and the image itself is still large, so I'm hoping there's a dynamic resizing going on that I can change the values in so that they're a bit bigger. They're just not showing the detail we need as it stands.
